Bizarre Realm-Chapter 433 - 47: Secret Silver Mine! Setting Sun City 3
The magic level of Setting Sun City is quite high, after all, its origin is a group of Primordial Mages who drained the entire planet’s life force.
Unlike other Witch King Cities, Setting Sun City has a heritage of Mechanical Masters. According to Shawn’s understanding, they are a group of engineers who can summon mechanical turrets, and as long as they have enough money, they can operate a Gundam before becoming Legendary. Although Mechanical Masters are also one of the advanced professions of the Alchemy Path, they pay more attention to science and are very good at activating mechanical bodies.
The entire excavation work lasted a day and a night.
As an excited voice came from deep underground, soon diggers from the Insect People entered the underground mine.
"We’ve hit a vein!"
Some ore samples were brought up, with the surfaces of those metal ores showing a bit of silver-white color, as if they were insoluble in other ores, with spots and speckles, slightly gleaming in sunlight.
"The purity is low, we have to dig further down," said a gray dwarf, dressed like a blacksmith.
He waved to others, saying, "Is there anyone here who possesses ghostly skill?"
"Help me craft a melting furnace."
"I want to see how much mithril can be refined."
Half a day passed quickly, and after working for a long time, the gray dwarf came out from behind the furnace, holding a small metal particle on a tray, raising it up to show a silver-white piece no bigger than half a grain of rice, saying, "Less than a gram."
"Deep within this vein, there might be refined gold co-existing. Is there any way to explore further?"
From the crowd stepped out a tall figure; she had pointy ears and looked like an Elf, but unlike other Elves, her eyes showed a hint of blood color. After greedily glancing at the piece of mithril, the Blood Elf pondered and said, "I have a way to give it a try."
"But I want a share of the output here."
The gray dwarf stared at her for a while, then revealed the Terran Badge beneath his robe and said in a deep voice, "Friend. Just for exploration, there’s no qualification for a share."
The tall Elf seemed unsurprised. She lifted her wrist, revealing a badge of a blood-red setting sun, and said calmly, "We can invest in shares."
"How about three hundred thousand soul stones?"
Hiss.
Upon hearing the other’s words, the surrounding people looked shocked, and even Quinn-To was astonished because he hadn’t noticed such a person’s presence in the team.
In fact, when he recruited the exploration team in Setting Sun City, some people had already taken notice of him.
There aren’t many living beings in the Bizarre Realm, so unfamiliar faces easily attract attention.
Not all minerals require an Ethereum Excavator; ordinary copper and iron ore don’t need such large alchemy constructs. You should know that the cost of an Ethereum Excavator is several hundred thousand Gindele, and there are only two or three in the entire Material Plane, mostly controlled by the old Plane Trading Groups.
Setting Sun City is different from other Witch King Cities; it has an abandoned star port, which, as the name suggests, is a space port leading to outer space, used for docking starships, dimensional sphere spaceships, living star ships, and other interstellar spaceships.
Although the Bizarre Realm was shrouded by gray fog for nearly a thousand years, the star port of Setting Sun City has been well maintained.
The star port is not very large; at most, it can dock one or two dimensional sphere spaceships.
In fact, next to the well-known Bod’s Gate, in the direction of Deepwater City, there lies the largest starship star port in the entire Ferren Plane.
In the Bizarre Realm, if it weren’t for the arrival of the Ancient Pillars, the natives and the souls from the Otherworld would have already joined forces to explore outer space.
After all, they have always known of Su’en’s Heart Stealer Fleet, and if it weren’t for the gray fog isolating space, building an interstellar battleship might be difficult, but constructing a few Living Star Ships is still a piece of cake.
The gray dwarf was a Terran Priest. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Friend. I need to report this to the Archbishop before I can give you an answer."
This Blood Elf with a cold and enchanting face didn’t mind, saying indifferently, "That’s fine."
"I’m not in a hurry."
After exchanging a glance with the person beside him, the gray dwarf priest quickly returned to the furnace, taking out ritual materials to ignite them. He, being a Terran Priest, couldn’t make such a big decision on his own, especially since mining this mithril mine required mobilizing a large amount of manpower and resources before and after.
Trainees from the first three phases of Mechanical Heart were clearing out the monsters around, and all the funds from the Deep Pit Mine were assembled there.
This was the first large-scale mineral vein being mined by the Terra Church, and they certainly selected high-value targets.
A few minutes later.
He naturally walked out and said, "The Archbishop has agreed."
"When will the soul stones be delivered?"
The Blood Elf’s eyes shifted, and she said softly, "First deliver half of the soul stones, and the rest will be replaced with materials for building the mine."
"We want fifty percent of the shares."
Upon hearing this, the gray dwarf priest frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "You are too greedy. At most, thirty percent."
The Blood Elf elegantly lifted her falling hair with a smile and said, "At least forty percent."
The gray dwarf unintentionally touched the pendant near his ear and after a moment’s consideration said, "At most, thirty-five percent. Let’s be friends."
"After all, this is our first cooperation."
"You have to know, our church is best at discovering underground mineral treasures."
The Blood Elf’s expression showed a hint of hesitation. After signaling slightly, she left the crowd, seemingly activating some kind of Curio. She probably wasn’t the decision-maker, as a moment later she turned around and said, "Deal!"
"Looking forward to our next cooperation."
